his name was W. 5. Furayl telegraphs on
Monday night as follows:
Some Of the Toledo papers are devoting
considerable space Ia what they declare is
contest between Senator Sherman and Gov
rrnor Foraker for the central committee.
There is considerable quiet talk Ia the et
tect that Senator Sherman's friends are try
lng 10 get control Of the central committee.
and have been al work at this for some
time, but il is certain that the central com
mittee will be republican and work in the
interest OF the republican party, and this is
all that the senator or Governor Foraker
desires
The Bee tonight declares that there is an
agreement between Senator Sherman and
Governor Foraker by which the fermer is TO
control the central committee and the latter
II name the executive committee.
The proposed presidential Endorsement
If Senator Sherman is the topic of the
hour-aS there is no question at all as 10
the denomination of Foraker. The Hamil-
Ton county delegation is largely for the Ell

said:
The republicans of Ohio have always been
remarkably strong in good saving common
,ense. doubt if there will be- any CON
>picuOuS opposition 10 the endorsement
Senator Sherman is a strong man in the re
publican party, and the people of Ohio
think well of him, and my Judgment is that
the friends of Mr.. Blaine will make no op-
position Ia his Endorsement. provided that
the language of the resolution does not east
any reflection ON their favorite or other
leading republicans who have been men
toned for that place. | AIN not in the con
hdence UE BlaineS managers. but from
what | see and hear | think that is a proper
iiagunsiS of the situation a. Ia the TrSulu-
ton of Endorsement.
II is our opinion that the proposed reso-
luton of Endorsement will be presented
and that it will 20 through with a whirl-
as il ought TO if presented at all. Senator
Sherman i man with remarkable per
snnal and political record -Ohio's greatest
living statesman and probably the ableSt
public man now in political life in Amer-
ca. To question aS to whether a re>oln-
date above all others, next year
should be presented, is one that
admits of debate, but if the resolution
should be presented, as it will, the with.
holding of the expression would be bit OF
rank ingratitude and gratuitouS indecency.
Neither the convention nor any of its dele
gates will be guilty of this.
A special tn the State Jour7inl from To
lrdO says:
Unfortunate As it is most OF the talk and
discussion here is over the resolution,
though the name of Governor Foraker can-
not be mentioned without arouSing enthus-
iasm and complimentary expressions. The

tker. below which is "lSS5-lsS.,~ NO
rebel flags will be surrendered while | am
created All immense demand for
similar badges. which will prove 20 be- the
most popular of any. The present and
next governor of the state of Ohio will ar
rive IN Toledo on "Wednesday morning and
will be- met at the train by delegation OF
citizens from the reception committee and
the famous Toledo cadets, who are enthuS-
astic admirers Of Governor Foraker
There will be a band of music in attend
ince and the chief executive of the state
will be assured in no uncertain way that the
people of this city are 50 pleased with his
that they will do all in their
power 10 continue II another term at least
Gentlemen from other parts OF the state
will help Ia swell the crowd and Governor
Foraker will receive reception OF which
any man could be proud.
There is a rather strange and significant
silence as to who shall be the candidate for
he Office of lieutenant governor, which
nay be explained in part by this special.
ent flom Springfield Monday night, To the
state ,i"TTHG':
\ belief among politicians here is that
General A. 5. Bushnell will be the nominee
# the Toledo convention for lieutenant
governor whether he will OF no. Ii will be-
that in the convention which
nominated Hose tor lieutenant governor on
he ticket, four years ago, that gentleman
positively stated that he would not accept
he nomination. The temper of the con .
'entiOn was obviously in favor of Rose. and
le was wired as 10 whether he would arcept
he nomination or not. He wired back that
ie would not only not accept, but ,
hat he would decline il nominated He :
lid neither. The convention was de .
upon nominating him. and
lid nominate him and he accepted. +,
'olIticians here believe that history will re a
'eat itself al the Toledo convention and -
ha! General Bushnell will be forced 10 ac-
ept General Bushnell is well known
D the state. He was the chairman of the /
epublican central committee the year when :
'oraker was elected governor. and has
one some excellent work for the repubi-
